Gordon Ramsay achieved a weight loss of more than four stone after tipping the scales at 18st in 2000

“I’d done the diets, taken the the diet pills, worked out for hours a day with a personal trainer and nothing was working! I was ready to book my surgical appointment, when a friend stepped in and offered me encouragement in my darkest hour.”

Christina dropped 16 US dress sizes and now has 5,991 followers and is Mrs Arizona.

She wrote on her blog: “I will never forget the time my own grandmother walked by me at a family wedding because she did not recognize the much slimmer and healthier granddaughter that stood before her. [sic]

“My life dramatically changed for the better when I overcame this one mountain in my life.”
